Ancient Stone Penis Discovered in Maryland

Twenty years ago, Maryland horse farrier Martin Kenny made an unusual discovery in an excavation site where workers were erecting a new barn. He had found what appeared to be a six inch long stone penis.

Kenny reached out to several academic installations regarding the long-buried handcrafted phallus to see if they might be interested in the discovery. “I’ve written to the Smithsonian and never got anything
back from them,” he told Livegeek-cetera.com. “I wrote and said I found this stone penis,
and I’m sure someone would appreciate being able to look into this thing.”

But for some reason, no one was interested in Kenny’s stone penis. And so the phallus remained stored in a drawer for almost two decades.

However, Kenny recently got the idea to send photos of the object to archaeologist and blogger Dr. Martin Rundkvist after reading a post by the Dr. about what appeared to be another ancient carved penis discovered in Sweden over the summer.

Rundkvist contacted Kenny, confirming the find could very well be of academic interest. He wrote about the phallus in a post titled “Another Ancient Dildo” where he commented “It’s made of sandstone or a similar rock, and to my eye it’s pretty
clearly modified by human hands, though it may have originated as a
fossil cavity of some ancient mollusk.”

After all these years, this long-ignored penis may finally get the attention it deserves.
